PICK-UP LAX:

Description, Philosophy & Mission:

1.5 Hours of non-stop lacrosse consisting of a clinic &
gamesetting: The first 30 minutes consists of an instructional
clinic by our elite staff and then is followed by a 1 hour Pick-Up Game. Players will be selected to a team mixed up of other laxer's all across Long Island by skill level and age & coached by one of our instructors. Each player will be exposed to position specific training drills, techniques and games. Each team will be led by coaches who instruct during games and expose players to variety game scenarios.

At "Pick-Up Lax" you will be surrounded by fellow "Laxers" who are dedicated to being successful among an elite coaching staff comprised of collegiate & professional players to provide a
foundation for greatness. The "Pick-Up Lax" philosophy is to create
an open learning environment built around a structure of positive
reinforcement. Our coaches are trained to maximize your potential by focusing on your weaknesses, teaching game like situation solutions and advice/tips on how to make you the best player you can possibly be. "Pick-Up Lax" will provide players an opportunity to enhance their skills from the 30 minute clinics and from the pick-up games where the instructor can stop the game to analyze what went wrong & the best possible solution. At "Pick-Up Lax", players will not only learn the basic fundamentals to improve their
game but they will learn the critical concepts of the game which separates the players with the same stick skills as you.

Pick-Up Lax gives players a chance to play & interact with players from other towns creating long lasting relationships & it gives
players the opportunity to develop their skills during the off season, learn from the very best, and have a blast along the way!
